The title of this thread is "Dubai Government to support business plan ......" Not so much a "Night of the Long Knives" as "Death by a Thousand Cuts" hardly a vote of confidence but then I suppose if you live by the sword then you should not be surprised at the eventual...

Holy cow Robbie - please arrange an interview for the soon to be vacated Minister of Finance role, ^Shaf^ he sounds a little over qualified but give him a day or so and I am sure he can be dumbed down a tad.

Read it ...
